Verse 1

To be a new pollutant you don’t need to be special
There’s no secret handshake and no stupid arm wrestle
There are no secret tests and no secret signs
There’s no second best and there’s no stupid rhymes

To be a new pollutant you don’t need to have to fight
You don’t need to eat biscuits and stay up all night
You won’t need a haircut you won’t need a certain look
You don’t need any money or to read a certain book

To be a new pollutant you don’t need to remain nameless
You could be a no one or you could even be famous
You could be an actor, you could be an engineer
You could live like a hermit or be focussed on career

To be a new pollutant you don’t need to stand from the crowd
You could be very quiet or even talk out aloud
You could be a Rhodes scholar or even make no sense
You could be highly opinionated or just sit on the fence

Chorus

New Pollutant’s all around us – you can see it everyday
Choking down what daddy fed – in each and everyway
I'm a New Pollutant – He’s a New Pollutant
We’re the New Pollutants and we’re coming on strong

Verse 2

The first new pollutant’s name is DJ Tr!p
He’s got a limp on his right leg and a piercing in his lip
He’s got tailor-made shoes and the 8-bit blues
He’s got a penchant for gaming whether you win or lose

The first new pollutant studies the art of old
He’s got a room full of consoles and a hard drive full of gold
He’s got fisherman’s pants and a b-boy stance
He’s got the kind of power that will put you in a trance

The first new pollutant responds mainly to touch
But when he’s on stage he stresses way too much
Don’t prod him or poke him It only shortens his wick
Eat chocolate and chewing gum and get a little sick

The first new pollutant’s got a weird way to scratch
With hands going everywhere it’s a technical mismatch
Frequency butterflies caught in CB
He’s got a portable Amiga and a pocket TV

Chorus

New Pollutant’s all around us – you can see it everyday
Choking down what daddy fed – in each and everyway
I'm a New Pollutant – He’s a New Pollutant
We’re the New Pollutants and we’re coming on strong

Verse 3

The second new pollutant’s name is mister speed
He thinks he’s superhuman but he’s a veritable halfbreed
He thinks out aloud when his outlook seems to worsen
He thinks 3’s a crowd but talks in the 3rd person

The second new pollutant studies movies and sound
He’s got fur on his face and not the other way around
He’s got a bicycle cuffs and a blind man’s bluffs
He’s got things in his hair to show he’s not tough enough

The second new pollutant wears a hygiene mask
He’s got fruit on the brain and water in his hip flask
He’s all over the place with the expressions on his face
He’s got a room full of posters and a moving picture database

The second new pollutant computes 1.2
He’s got a vampire cape in a darkened hue
With his Kaoss Pad he hasn’t seen the sun in a while
He’s got flailing arm movements and a weird robot style

Chorus

New Pollutant’s all around us – you can see it everyday
Choking down what daddy fed – in each and everyway
I'm a New Pollutant – He’s a New Pollutant
We’re the New Pollutants and we’re coming on strong
